Bosterson Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 HEY BROS, I AM HAVING A HARD TIME CHOOSING WHICH PREMADE TRAD ANCHOR TO BUY. MEDIUM ANCHOR HAS A WIRE FOR EQUALIZING THE PIECES, BUT THE SMALL ANCHOR IS CHEAPER AND HAS AN EXTRA WEIGHTED CHARM FOR MORE PLACEMENT OPTIONS. THOUGHTS???? ALSO ARE THESE INDUSTRIAL DESIGNS CLIMBING SAFE??? https://www.endclothing.com/us/off-white-medium-industrial-keychain-omnf006s182530089100.html https://www.endclothing.com/us/off-white-small-industrial-keychain-omnf005s182530089100.html Quote
genepires Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 I usually keep my language to overly polite, but this is a fucking ridiculous idea. I only hope that those wires are really full strength and not going to kill someone when they end up on someones rack. Quote
ivan Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 on the other hand, they would make very fashionable earrings Quote
G-spotter Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Is "End Clothing" like 'Beyond Clothing" i.e. everybody butt naked? Edited October 22, 2018 by G-spotter Quote
G-spotter Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 idk if you guys have noticed but carabiners, hiking boots and 80s climbing clothing is shit-hot now in high-end mens fashion. this appears to be somebody with a swager turning $10 worth of wire, two non-climbing biners, and three discontinued nuts (DEADSTOCK SO HOT) into $250 worth of FASHION i wonder what I can sell my old Boreal Ballets for on ebay. $300?

Bosterson Posted October 26, 2018 Author Posted October 26, 2018 I think this belt is a good solution for how to equalize the 4 weighted charms on the small industrial keychain. Also works for ~2 ft double strand emergency rappels. This is the perfect setup for those cutting edge buildering projects. Quote
Off_White Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Oh, that's pretty hilarious. Maybe I can retire on the proceeds from my copyright infringement lawsuit. All of my old stoppers are stamped "Off" Quote
G-spotter Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 It's a strange world we live in nowadays, that's for sure. https://lumberjac.com/2017/07/super-gratton-hi/ Quote
Off_White Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 "lifestyle sneakers"? Well, they look as uncomfortable to walk around in as the originals. Quote

JasonG Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Metal on metal is an acquired taste @cfire Quote

montypiton Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 wait - I can hang a couple of my 40-year-old retired stoppers on a forty-year-old carabiner, call it a key-chain, and somebody will actually buy it!?!? I might have just funded my retirement!!! Quote
Bosterson Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 The next stage of this saga has unfolded. Sez R&I: "You really will feel special when your friend Becky, who was the first to get endclothing.com’s silver $219 Kong Chocks keychain, can’t afford the Louis Vuitton chalk bag. Dreams really do come true." For the low low price of $1,590.00. They also make a $3,000.00 backpack version: "Inspired by mountain climber's bags, the Chalk backpack is a fashion-forward combination of practical detailing and House signatures." I'm still trying to unpack that sentence. Does "practical detailing" refer to the... ice axe loop? 1 Quote
Off_White Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Oooh, I like the "sleek chain and functional carabiner". Nice find! Quote
G-spotter Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Everything is "inspired by" now. Needs more Jzaing. "Our five became six one morning when Herbert Stencil walked into camp. "I've been sleeping in ditches" he said apropos of nothing, and began eating my breakfast. Mr. Stencil is the world's oldest climber. He's been climbing so long, everyone he's ever climbed with is dead; his one claim to fame is that he once stepped in a pile of Fred Beckey's shit in an alder thicket in the Bugaboos." " 1 Quote
